Status of QCA9882 support?

[Adrian Chadd]

hiya,

I still recommend sticking with the AR9280. The QCA988x 11ac stuff is
coming, but I wouldn't at all recommend trying my driver out in hostap
mode.

It's a sufficiently different card (ie requires firmware API) that it
requires a new driver.

(Do buy one to do some local testing though!)

I'm chipping away at it.. :-)
